I am developing a Tizen Web App for the Samsung Gear. (Using Tizen 2.4)
Currently I try to add a function which allows the user to open a link on his phone via the watch. So when he presses a button, an URL will open in the phone's default browser. I noticed other smart watch apps have this functionality.
After browsing these forums, I found a code example:
var appControl = new tizen.ApplicationControl('http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/view',
'https://www.tizen.org', null, null, null, null);
tizen.application.launchAppControl(appControl, null, function() {
console.log('launch application control succeed');
}, function(e) {
console.log('launch application control failed. reason: ' + e.message);
}, null);
However, when I try to run it, I get the following error: "launch application control failed. reason: No matched application found."
My app does have the following privlige in it's config file added:
<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/application.info"/>
<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/application.launch"/>
Found it You will need the application.launch privilege.
function openBrowserOnPhone(url) {
var appid = "com.samsung.w-manager-service";
var type = "phone";
var extra_data = [
new tizen.ApplicationControlData("msgId", ["mgr_install_host_app_req"]),
new tizen.ApplicationControlData("type", [type]),
new tizen.ApplicationControlData("deeplink", [url])];
var appControl = new tizen.ApplicationControl(
"http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/default",
null,
null,
null,
extra_data);
var appControlReplyCallback = {
onsuccess: function(data) {
console.log("launchUrl reply success");
console.log("success: data = " + JSON.stringify(data));
},
onfailure: function() {
console.log("launchUrl reply failed");
}
};
try {
tizen.application.launchAppControl(
appControl,
appid,
function() { console.log("intentBorba", "launchUrl success"); },
function(err) { console.log("intentBorba", "launchUrl failed: " + err.message); },
appControlReplyCallback);
} catch(err) {
console.error("[launcher] " + err);
}
}
You can use it anywhere like this:
openBrowserOnPhone('http://google.com')
